Love the "For flesh only"!This one would look better with a re-handle, but still retains some charm.

Going fishing one more time. A request for assistance....Perhaps I asked this before, and please bear with me, this will lead to cattle knife content. What is the difference between the 53 and 54 pattern? My understanding is that they were the same, but the 54 has half-stops and the 53 does not. I have a 531410 cattle baron before my eyes and non of the blades have half-stops. I also have a modified knife with a number of 531310 cattle rancher in front of me and all three blades DO have half-stops. Do Your 531310 cattle ranchers have half stops, or do I have a 53 blade inserted onto a 54 frame?
The Looking Glass Pearl is the 531410. The green micarta (obviously reworked) with a bail has a modified blade with number 531310 and all 3 blades have half-stops.

(From January 2018!!) Will, you told the future!!GEC's 35 frame could be a nice Cattle Knife......

If you own a 531310, aka a GEC Cattle Rancher, could you pull it out, open a blade and tell me if it has half stops? I appreciate any help I may get on this subject.
From my previous post, I'm perplexed as to how mine has half stops. I was under the impression that 53s did not have and 54s did have half stops.
Thanks all!
Keep trying!! The Stock Market is the important one!!!
